Movie Scene of the Week

In honor of the late Sydney Pollack, a clip from one of his most famous movies (and, quite incidentally, one of the first Pollack films I ever saw on the big screen), Three Days of the Condor.

I didn't appreciate this movie that much the first time I saw it in my mid-teens but since then, it's grown on me. And this scene, with its definite depiction of the conflict between idealism (represented by the Robert Redford character) and pragmatism (represented by the Cliff Robertson character, natch) has proven more prophetic than I ever dreamed possible.
